What a weekend! We spent all day Saturday at my niece’s graduation from Mary Washington University in Virginia. We then scooted over to Dulles Airport to pick up our foster pups! It was an exhausting day! 
We got the girls home (we call them the “Chicas” lol) and they immediately went crazy. They had been kept in a crate all day and needed to run. They ran around like mad and ate dinner. We then had to bathe them as they stank from being in a crate for hours. We took them upstairs to the kid’s bathroom and proceeded to scrub each one. They escaped soaking wet and ran around the bedrooms until we could get them back into the kitchen. We put up a gate and they immediately jumped over it. We had to literally barricade the doorway with pieces of plywood to keep them in! Lucky and Harper were totally taken aback by all of this activity and were wondering what had hit them and, quite frankly, so was I!
The dogs are now doing really well. They settled in and realize that food is plenty and pretty much on demand. They sleep together in their crate and all four dogs are playing very well with each other in the back. They are friendly and fun and just really great pups!
It is also baseball/softball playoffs for high school ball so the past week and this week coming up are busy. Sophie is participating in the National Philharmonic Carmina Burana at Strathmore on Saturday evening and has rehearsals leading up to it. She auditioned months ago and made it into the chorus and we are so proud!
Whew! Now, on to this week’s Favorite Find…
Whenever I can find a few minutes to spare in the craziness that is my life, I shall transform this great vanity with Annie Sloan Paris Grey! It has a large mirror that attaches and I know it will be gorgeous when done. It is part of the lovely bedroom set that I have been working on for a client. I hope to get to work on it soon!
Carmina burana! Omg. Cant tell if this is the name of a group within the Philharmonic or a performance of the wild wonderful musical piece with orchestra and chorus–in either case: wow. Honor and privilege.
Hi Louise! It is an opera that they are performing. I also am a bit clueless (having never seen it before) but I do know the music. I am so excited for her!
Congrats to all of you, especially Sophie!! Just a heads up if you’ve not had labs before. They are the most loving and shedding dogs on the planet!! You will have great fun with them!!
Hi Liz – they also love to dig! Oh my, the garden is now like a minefield lol!
Congratulations to your daughter. And as for you, Missy, you are just a beautiful, talented, giving person. Terrific for the pups to live with you for awhile. Love the set you are working on. Yo make planet earth a better place.
Thank you SO much, Linda! You are too kind and made me smile 🙂 Cheers!
